Abstract E. umbellata is an important deciduous shrub which reaches up to 5 m high and 10 cm in d.b.h. It is found in thickets and sparse woods of Japan, Korea and China. E. umbellata is a shade intolerant pioneer tree and is also commonly found along riversides and seashores in Japan. This species is growing in humid areas with 1000-4000 mm of annual rainfall in Japan. In China it is reported to grow even in semi-arid areas of Nei Menggu, Gansu and Shaanxi province, where annual rainfall is around 400 mm (Niu, 1990). E. umbellata can fix nitrogen and it is tolerant to salt winds, this species is therefore used for fixation of coastal sand dunes in Japan, and is frequently planted mixed with Pinus thunbergii as a soil improving tree. E. umbellata is also planted in eroded areas of mountainous zones to re-establish and develop vegetation. In China, E. umbellata is occasionally cultivated in gardens (Zhang, 1997).

Β Carotene

Autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata Thunb.) has edible fruit with brilliant red or yellow pigmentation. An analysis of the pigment in fruit of five cultivars and six naturalized plants showed that the berries contain lycopene, α-cryptoxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin, β-carotene, lutein, phytoene, and phytofluene. The lycopene content per 100 g ranged from 15 to 54 mg in fresh fruit from the naturalized plants and from 17 to 48 mg in the four cultivars with red-pigmented fruit. A cultivar with yellow fruit had only 0.47 mg/100 g fresh fruit. In contrast, fresh tomato fruit, the major dietary source of lycopene, has a lycopene content per 100 g of ≈3 mg. This newly identified source of lycopene may provide an alternative to tomato as a dietary source of lycopene and related carotenoids.

Abstract Fifth-year survival and height are compared for autumn-olive (Elaeagnus umbellata Thunb.), European alder (Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn.), Japanese flowering crab apple (Malus floribunda Sieb.), sawtooth oak (Quercus acutissima Carruthers), and Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana Mill.) on a sandy clay loam spoil bank in South Carolina. When both survival and height growth are considered, autumn-olive performed best and was a good fruit producer for wildlife. Virginia pine ranked second and may have potential as a fiber producer on disturbed Coastal Plain sites.

Glycogen Particles

An ultrastructural study of effective root nodules of the autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata Thunb.) demonstrated the presence of hyphal and vesicular forms of the actinomycete endophyte. No sporangial forms of the endophyte were observed within these nodules. The hyphae contained septa, prominent nucleoid regions, and many ribosomes. The endophytic vesicles were initially nonseptate and then became multichambered as a result of the inward growth of complete and incomplete septa. Glycogen particles were numerous in nonseptate and early stages of septate endophytic vesicle formation and in adjacent hyphae but were absent in more developed stages of septate endophytic vesicles. The endophytic vesicles also contained prominent nucleoid areas, vesicular mesosomes, and crystalline-like striated bodies. A capsule, probably derived from host Golgi cisternae and profiles of dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum, surrounded both forms of the endophyte. The endophytic vesicle cell walls consisted of an outer layer continuous with the hyphal cell wall, a middle clear area or “void space,” and an electron-dense inner layer. The “void space” of the endophyte cell wall was resolved into many thin laminae by freeze–fracture microscopy. The laminae were presumed to be different from the outermost cell wall layer because they were washed out in the solvents used in preparing specimens for the TEM.
